Dr. Datis Kharrazian is a Harvard Medical School-trained researcher and author of Why Isn’t My Brain Working. The Treating Neuroinflammation Course is based on breakthrough research into the role glial cells – the brain’s immune cells – play in neuroinflammation. Dr. Kharrazian has exhaustively studied this new research and developed new clinical models he’s used to treat his patients. Now he’s ready to teach them to you.

In the Treating Neuroinflammation Course you will learn:

The role of the brain’s immune cells, called glial cells, in maintaining the health of the neurons.

How focusing on the neurons but ignoring glial cells explains why functional neurology protocols often worsen symptoms or fail.

How glial cells that have become pro-inflammatory actually change in shape, anatomy, and function… and what to do about it.

Clinical strategies for disarming activated glial cells.

How to figure out what is causing neuroinflammation in each patient; it will be different for each.

How to stimulate the neurons to keep glial cells healthy.

How to prevent accelerated degeneration and loss of glial cells and take care of the ones you and your patients have left.

How to work backwards through a step-by-step clinical process to uncover each patient’s unique triggers for neuroinflammation.

Research breakthroughs in what causes glial cells to become pro-inflammatory.

How to identify patterns of neuroinflammation on blood tests.

How healthy glial function supports positive neuron plasticity.

How gut bacteria directly communicate with glial cells.

How to use physical examinations and neuroimaging studies to identify neuroinflammation and track the progress of protocols.

Here is my video interview with Dr. Kharrazian sharing some highlights from the Treating Neuroinflammation course.

One of many gems he shared: when you hit your head, whether it’s a mild bump or if you’re concussed or lose consciousness or have a very severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), the severity of the neuroinflammation depends on many factors including your blood sugar levels, if you have an autoimmune condition and many other factors outside of the injury itself.

We talk about the fact that registration for this training does include ongoing access to case discussions on the private Facebook group. Two of the case studies will be followed live over the next few months. One gentleman who has volunteered to be a case study, has already introduced himself in the Facebook group. To me, this adds so much value to the course because we almost get to shadow Dr. Kharrazian in real life.

If you’re already signed up for the course, enjoy this video and I’ll see you in the course Facebook group (be sure to tag me and say hi). I am loving the interaction with the other practitioners and the training hasn’t even started.

If you’re not yet signed up and are still considering it, registration for the LIVE and LIVESTREAM does closes Wednesday, May 15th at 11:59 p.m. (PST). It will be available on-demand after this date at some time in the future but I don’t have those details.

I had the good fortune to attend a number of live trainings with Dr. Kharrazian shortly after becoming a nutritionist and I’ve been a huge fan ever since then. I’ve always been impressed with the depth of his knowledge.

Here are a few endorsements from prominent functional medicine practitioners:

Dr. Kharrazian has been a prominent educator and highly-respected clinician in the functional medicine community since the inception of functional medicine. He is an expert clinician and an innovator in this field ~ Dr. Mark Hyman

Dr. Kharrazian’s work represents the vanguard in our understanding of the role of lifestyle choices in charting the brain’s destiny. His highly effective educational outreach has opened the door for countless healthcare providers, allowing them to dramatically increase their effectiveness in treating and indeed preventing so many of the pernicious conditions that plague our modern society ~ Dr. David Perlmutter

This training is geared to practitioners BUT health-savvy patients/clients are welcome to attend too:

The neuroinflammation course is not actually practitioners-only. Dr. Kharrazian welcomes anyone to sign up for the course, and there are already a number of non-practitioners enrolled. Over on the Kharrazian Institute facebook page, he addresses this in some of the threads. There will be content that moves a bit too fast for those who do not have medical training, but for the avid patient who is well-read and keen to learn on a deeper level, the course is open. More info can be found on the Kharrazian Institute FAQ page.
